The rooms were pretty awesome. Only issue is that they were both a bit infested with spiders that i had to kill myself. I let the staff at the front know and they were nice enough and said they were going to send someone to check it out while we were out but i dont belive they ever did due to the crushed spiders on the walls still being there. I still reccomend it though.

4.5 Stars: The restaurant and the kindness of all the staff. Even though we were there for a tournament, the patio deck was a wonderful surprise. It was very accessible to the highway and other stores. The cleaning staff is very helpful. We will stay there and feel that families will enjoy the Inn. When the restaurant hours were not early enough for breakfast, the receptionist jumped on his computer and found us options that were not fast food and would fuel a competitive athlete. Thank You!! :-D
